Hello,<\/p>\n

My name is Glenson. I am 25 years old, and I have a family. I work to support them and try very hard to keep us together. Life wasn’t easy for me, and I always felt depressed or angry about myself. But before I began to tell about my short story, I was the type of guy who never believed in God or anything, not even my own traditional ways as a Native American. But The Secret changed my way of thinking about hope.<\/p>\n

Two years ago, my father passed away. I did not have a good relationship with him, like a father-and-son thing. Let’s just say that I did not like his drinking. I was very sad because the last thing I said to him was to leave me alone. I could not stop thinking about it and I wished I could say I was sorry to him. I was with my girlfriend, and she tried to comfort me. But all I could feel was anger, and I took it out on her. Later, she left me.<\/p>\n

I was completely alone in my father’s home. All his stuff was gone. It is our tradition that we cannot keep their belongings when someone dies. I just had my TV my father gave me, my bed, and my clothes.<\/p>\n

A month later, I went back to school at the university. I still felt sad about losing my girlfriend. She was all I thought about. We did text from time to time.<\/p>\n

Then, one day, she said that she was with someone else. I was very heartbroken, and I did not want to believe it. She told me it was over between us and that I should move on. I was going crazy and started to think there was nothing for me to live for anymore. That was until I remembered something. I saw a video called The Secret<\/a> when I was in high school. I went to the library and checked out the book. I read it nonstop, page after page, and stayed up all night. I wasn’t sure if everything was true about my thoughts and feelings going out to the Universe, and receiving back what I was putting out, but I gave it a try. I wanted her back because I loved her, and I did not want to be alone anymore.<\/p>\n

Two months later, my girlfriend told me we were going to have a baby. I was very happy, and I cried with joy. Late at night, I went outside to look up at the stars. I was smiling and thanked the Universe for this blessing. After I read the book, I changed my way of thinking from negative to positive. I did everything possible to make myself happy and bring laughter into my life. Everything changed in 2 weeks. My girlfriend told me she loved me, too, and we got back together. All I wanted was to have my own family, and I asked the Universe to bring it into my life. I visualized it every day and put my full belief in it. And it worked! Thank you, thank you, thank you!<\/p>\n

Today, we do have our ups and downs, but I’m not giving up. I’m working on getting our own place. It was stressful along the way, but deep down, I felt something I thought was gone, hope. The only person in my life who brings me hope is my beautiful daughter, Olivia. I asked the Universe to bring me hope into my life, and I received an angel from God.<\/p>\n

Thank you, thank you, thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
